44 Thus Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people,+ he and Ho·sheʹa*+ the son of Nun. 45 After Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them: “Take to heart all the words of my warning to you today,+ so that you may command your sons to take care to do all the words of this Law.+47 For this is no empty word for you, but it means your life,+ and by this word you may live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

48 Jehovah spoke to Moses on this same day, saying: 49 “Go up into this mountain of Abʹa·rim,+ Mount Neʹbo,+ which is in the land of Moʹab, which faces toward Jerʹi·cho, and view the land of Caʹnaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as a possession.+50 Then you will die on the mountain you are about to ascend, and be gathered to your people,* just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor+ and was gathered to his people, 51 because both of you were unfaithful to me among the Israelites at the waters of Merʹi·bah+ of Kaʹdesh in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify me before the people of Israel.+52 You will see the land from a distance, but you will not enter the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”+
